Real Madrid suffered a surprising defeat after Getafe secured a memorable 0-1 victory at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
The hero of the night was Martin Satriano, who scored a stunning goal that ultimately decided the match.
The striker, currently on loan from Ligue 1 side Lyon, enjoyed a dream night in one of football’s most iconic stadiums.
A day after the match, Satriano reflected on the experience during an interview with El Espectador (h/t Mundo Deportivo), where he shared a personal moment that took place inside the Bernabeu.
Experience of the Bernabeu
Before the match started, the striker explained that he deliberately avoided looking at the famous Champions League trophies displayed inside the stadium.
“When you enter the Bernabeu, they show you the Champions League trophies and everything they’ve won. I didn’t even look.
“Then, when I left, I did look. I said, ‘Now I’m going to look, because we’ve won and I can enjoy it a little more,’” he remembered.
Satriano also revealed that inside the dressing room before the match, the squad spoke about the possibility of making history.

The team entered the game believing that, with enough effort, they could surprise the Spanish giants.
“Before the game, we talked about how we could make history, and in the end, you can get those results if you work hard. Football today is very evenly matched.”
Facing Real Madrid
Although the final result might suggest a comfortable evening for Getafe, Satriano admitted the match demanded an enormous physical effort from the entire squad.
Facing a team like Real Madrid always requires maximum concentration and energy for the full 90 minutes.
“I’m usually fine the day after playing, but today everything hurts (laughs). We all made a great effort. Today I’m tired,” he said.
For the striker, however, the pain was worth it. The goal he scored at the Bernabeu will remain a special memory in his career.
“At the end of the game, I was very excited and very happy because of what it means to score a goal against Real Madrid in that stadium.
“Winning was very important for us. We made history. It’s the best goal I’ve scored in my career so far,” he concluded.
